Please review this list of the many jobs we need help with. Right now, most of these jobs are done by the Den and Pack leaders, taking away time they need to be spending with the boys. An interested parent can take these on. Some jobs are small and easy, and some are more challenging. Please consider signing up to help in one of these areas.

Call John Kennington at 809-6325 and with any questions you have about the jobs.
